Hey,

I am after a way to have particles flow along a surface via a texture map, for instance if I had a strip of black down the centre of a texture, I would like the particles to flow down the black strip only.

What would be the best way to go about this.

Thanks, Chris

There is an old AliasWavefront dvd that shows a method of doing this using a custom scripted paint effects brush, probably one of my favourite dvds. It was called Maya Techniques | Flow Workflows, they showed the techniques they used in The Two Towers to create water. I don't think they sell the dvd anymore you could perhaps try contacting Autodeks to see if they still have some copies left.
